Madera In Minnesota – Raw Files

December 6, 2017

Get a look at a bunch of leftover footage that didn’t make the cut for the full Madera In Minnesota edit!

Minnesota is a place that rarely comes to mind first or even second as a place for a BMX trip. What most people don’t know is that there are a bunch of great spots hidden here. This past summer the Madera team decided to see just what was hiding in the land of 10,000 lakes and ended up coming through with a great video from the trip (which you can check out below). In fact it was so productive they had a bunch of leftover footage from b-roll that didn’t make the cut, crashes, randoms and laughs that they didn’t want to go to waste. Check out just under 6 minutes of clips!

“The last Madera trip went so well that the crew ended up with more than enough footage to make a trip video so we decided to make a raw clip video from the left overs and outtakes. Some of this stuff is simply too entertaining to let go to waste. Check it out and get into the good times that a tight knit crew can have on the road.” – Madera

Just incase you missed the actual edit that dropped the other week, here it is below!

“Madera is family, so when the TM wanted to plan a trip for 2017, he made sure it would be a place where almost everyone associated with Madera could meet up and shred. It just so happens that the place he picked, Minneapolis, is chocked full of spots as well. Over the course of 10 days, almost everyone associated with the Madera team came through and the result is 10 minutes of diverse and banging footage. From rails to walls and ledges to wedges, the Madera guys shredded hard and had a blast doing it. Take a look at what kind of riding happens when good friends who are badass bike riders get together in a cool city with an amazing videographer.

How To Make Your BMX Tires Tubeless

December 6, 2017

Ever wondered how to make your BMX tires tubeless? Here’s a how to video showing you how it’s done…

If you ever caught a flat tire riding BMX, there’s a good chance the question of “why do I even need a tube?” has crossed your mind. The answer is obviously to keep the air from escaping through the spoke holes and around the bead of the tire. As much of a bummer getting a flat tire is, there is a trick that you can do to make your BMX tire tubeless. It just requires a bit more work than just changing out a tube, pumping it up and getting back to riding like you normally would. Here’s a video Ryan Needle and his friends put together showing you how to make your BMX tires tubeless by using a small 16″ tube and tire sealant to seal off your spoke holes and the bead of your tire to hold the air in. This isn’t super complex by any means, but you will want to use a sturdy, undamaged tire to get the best result. It’s a little more involved and can get a bit messy, but seems to work pretty well. Take a peek at the video to see just how it is done!

“This was a VERY in depth of how to do it! Tag us in your Tubeless set up!” – Ryan Needle
